.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBcmark\fR
converts Markdown formatted plain text to either HTML, groff man,
CommonMark XML, LaTeX, or CommonMark, using the conventions
described in the CommonMark spec.  It reads input from \fIstdin\fR
or the specified files (concatenating their contents) and writes
output to \fIstdout\fR.
